Golfer's elbow  

Golfer's elbow


MUSCLES
: flexor carpi radialis, ulnaris, and the palmaris longus
REFERRAL: Pain is felt in the lateral elbow

COMMENTS:

Golfer's elbow, or medial epicondylitis, does not just affect golfers. Any strain of the common flexor tendon causes this injury. Cross fiber frictioning the tendon and then applying ice will help a lot. Be very careful of the ulnar nerve, which passes between the medial epicondyle and the olecrannon process. If your client feels tingling in their last two fingers, you are hitting the nerve.
